My god what are those things, lol j/k. What is this two cards screwed together?......That's what it looks like. And for $729.99 anyone can have one!

Hmmm. $729 isn't tooo bad when you consider that it's two cards in one!!

This card, I bet it draws atleast 225w. So unless folks are running a decent PSU, add in a new PSU.

Back when I ran X1800XT Crossfire, whenevere I really started to puch my system OC wise, I got random lock ups and re-boots. At first I never imagined it was my PSU, it's a PC Power & Cooling 510w, I thought it was bullet-proof.
This next picture is a testimate of what dual graphics cards can do to a 229.00 PSU.

Hmmm reading through the hexus review, is it me or did they only bench the GX2 against single cards???? Of course 2 is gonna beat one!

God damn, owned.

My 12v is at 12.7v according to SpeedFan.... :shock: Sometimes it jumps from 12.8 to 12.6v. This can't be right.
